NU law interviews all college seniors who apply.
If you can convince the adcoms that your work experience is substantial and you get 170+ on the LSAT, I think you'll get in.

Thought I'd ask here rather than create a new thread:

What is the rough bump that applying with ED (ideally not the medical condition) would receive? Notch a few tenths of a point onto the GPA? 2-3 LSAT points?

I'm quite sure I want to apply early-decision and was a little curious if there is any real material positive affect other than "I'd love to pay sticker price".

What are your numbers. If you have 170 or a 3.7+ and a decent LSAT it pretty much guarantees admission if you have work experience.
